I'm working with a highly regarded boutique firm to find a capable Commercial Litigation Lawyer ready to step into a hands on, autonomous role. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys running their own matters while still having the support and mentorship of a senior, experienced team.
The Role
You’ll work across a broad range of commercial litigation matters, including disputes involving the ATO, general commercial and contractual disputes, and advisory work.

Regular team catch ups, and open communication are a key part of how the firm operates, ensuring everyone feels supported and set up for success. They also embrace modern systems and technology, so a willingness to adapt and engage with new tools is important.
